The Ford Focus VIN stamp is actually located on the engine (on the engine nameplate). The VIN is usually found at the lower left corner of the windshield or on the driver's side door hinge pillar. The engine model is marked by the manufacturer according to relevant regulations or industry practices to indicate engine-related information. VIN structure: There are mainly two formats for vehicle identification numbers. The first is the ISO 3779 standard adopted by the European Union, and the second standard is primarily used in North America, which is more stringent than the first but remains compatible with it. VIN plate location: The plate should be fixed to one of the door hinge pillar, door lock pillar, or the pillar where the door lock pillar joins the door edge, near the driver's seat. If such a location is not available, it should be fixed on the left side of the dashboard. If that is also not possible, it should be fixed on the inner side of the door near the driver's seat. If none of the above locations can be utilized, a written application must be submitted to NHTSA.

What are the reasons for the headlights of the Lavida not working?

Lavida headlights not working reasons are: 1. Severely depleted battery; 2. Overheated wires causing increased circuit resistance, leading to reduced headlight brightness, and in severe cases, short circuits due to melted wire insulation, potentially causing circuit damage or vehicle fires; 3. Contacts in the lighting relay or combination switch becoming corroded or stuck, preventing the circuit from opening or closing; 4. Blown fuse in the headlight circuit, leaving the front of the vehicle in darkness; 5. When using multiple electrical devices for prolonged periods, the generator's diodes and coils may burn out, causing the generator to stop producing electricity.

How to Identify a Car Model?

Methods for identifying a car model: Identify through the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is a 17-digit code composed of letters and numbers. The 1st to 3rd digits represent the country of production, manufacturer, and vehicle type code respectively; the 4th to 8th digits indicate vehicle characteristics, with meanings defined by each manufacturer; the 9th digit is a check digit, which can be represented by a letter or number. The 10th digit of the VIN represents the production year code, denoted by a letter or number; the 11th digit indicates the assembly plant and location code; the 12th to 17th digits represent the production sequence number. The combination of the Vehicle Identification Number ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identifier for each vehicle, hence it can be referred to as the car's ID card.
